OEM Technology Solutions provided the control hardware and software for the air conditioning systems as part of Siemens Transport System (TS) Group Desiro UK.

Air International UK, a major customer of OEM Technology Solutions, was selected to supply air conditioners for the Desiro UK trains. Air International UK manufacture air conditioners specifically designed for the tough environmental conditions associated with rail cars.
